Curiosity gap cold open: I reveal how a small C project unexpectedly became a full-fledged OS — from bootloader to kernel in one surprising journey. This 8-minute YouTube (16:9) video uses ALL CAPS subtitles with spoken-word highlights, a single “.” watermark, only stock media, and a young Indian male narrator. Follow the Hackaday story and see how systems programming, embedded development, and low-level C can evolve into an operating system. Perfect for C programmers, kernel hackers, and open-source enthusiasts.
